With the legalization of recreational weed in California came a host of new cannabis packaging laws that each dispensary must follow. While many of these regulations are aimed at helping adults consume cannabis more responsibly, some of the most noticeable ones are intended to prevent marijuana products from appealing to children. Many producers are worried that these laws will affect their ability to market effectively, but after reading this guide, you can decide for yourself!

Proposition D is a city ordinance that protects Los Angeles dispensaries and “grants a limited immunity from enforcement to medical marijuana businesses that do not violate specified restrictions.” Prop D, which was put into effect in 2014, actually bans marijuana within the city except for compliant medical marijuana businesses and, despite common misconceptions, is not a license to sell medical marijuana. It is a defense from law enforcement following federal law that protects Los Angeles dispensaries from prosecution if they are raided and shut down by police.

On November 8th in 2016, California voters approved of Proposition 64 (56 percent to 44 percent) to legalize recreational marijuana for adults aged 21 and above. Due to this progressive move, California marijuana users have been anxiously waiting for Proposition 64 to go into effect on January 1st of 2018. Recreational marijuana users are thrilled about this move, but some medical marijuana consumers are concerned about potential changes that may impact the process of obtaining their medicine. Fortunately, though, Proposition 64 will also provide benefits to California medical marijuana patients.

California will implement legalized recreational marijuana on Jan. 1, and there is a provision within the new state law that will essentially erase criminal convictions of marijuana possession. Anyone convicted for possessing less than one ounce of cannabis can have their record reduced or erased in the state. The Washington Postreported that the new law is in line with a movement brewing across the country to eliminate and decrease penalties emanating from the war on drugs as penitence. Minorities have been disproportionately targeted and arrested for marijuana at frightening rates for years, and lawmakers in legal states are trying to make amends.

Nevada went live with legal marijuana in July of 2017, and the state ran out of legally produced and tested marijuana in a matter of days. Washington state went online with rec sales three years earlier and experienced initial supply issues, while Colorado saw lines out of the door clamoring for products which had been sold out in January 2014. With California set to begin recreational marijuana sales on January 1, 2018, many are wondering if there will be a weed shortage once rec sales begin. Let’s take a look at how the recreational weed opening will likely play out.

Recreational marijuana will be legal in California on Jan. 1, and many people are wondering if housing laws will affect them smoking at home. Smoking marijuana will be legal on private property, including places outside on the property such as the back yard or front porch. The Adult Use of Marijuana Act also permits people 21 and older to cultivate up to 6 plants in or on their residence for personal use on their private property.

It's almost 2018, which means that California's recreational marijuana program will soon go into effect. However, recreational users cannot legally purchase marijuana yet, especially from marijuana delivery services. Yes, there are marijuana delivery services, and this market is booming in California, but for the next month at least, they only serve medical patients. For them, there's no need to venture out to a dispensary because they can just place an order online and receive the medicine straight to their door. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of this opportunity? Read on to find out more details about these delivery services and when recreational marijuana delivery services could become available.

The California Bureau of Cannabis Control says that the time has come for marijuana legalization. On Jan. 1, recreational marijuana will be legal for adults 21 and older. California is expected to exceed by far the tax revenue brought in by other recreational marijuana states. Colorado brought in around $200 million in taxes for 2016 with recreational and medical marijuana sales, but California is estimated to bring in at least $1 billion in tax revenue with recreational cannabis sales alone.
